A review by jsoakes
People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks

2.0

Had a lot of trouble getting into this or caring about Hannah. I also think it would have been more interesting if the history of the book went in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order. Only some of the flashbacks were interesting and, again, Hannah's story was just annoying. Her relationship with her mom, the unnecessary drama with her father, the super rushed love affair, all of it was just annoying.

That said, some of the historical storylines were great and the idea of getting historical information from book conservation was a unique take.
